Who Cares? refugee and migrant young people with caring responsibilities

Young Carers Forum, 25 August 2010

Young people from refugee or migrant backgrounds are more likely to have caring responsibilities. However, services often struggle to identify these young people as carers and provide appropriate support. To address this gap, ECCV in partnership with the Centre for Multicultural Youth (CMY) and Carers Victoria are hosting a forum that will focus on young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds who provide ongoing care for a family member with an illness or disability.

Download the background paper Who Cares? Refugee and Migrant Young People with Caring Responsibilities (143kb). This paper will inform the debate.
